Makassar, Indonesia: Two children have become the first victims found following a ferry accident in central Indonesia, an official said today, as search and rescue teams continue scouring the rough seas for survivors.

A total of 23 people have so far been pulled from the water alive off Sulawesi island, where a passenger ferry carrying 118 people ran into trouble in a violent storm late Saturday, transport ministry spokesman JA Barata said.
